Moon Over Broken Top

I use to plan my backcountry trips around the full moon.  Not only was hiking by moonlight exhilarating, but photo ops were good too.  This shot was taken in late summer when a wildfire was burning nearby.  The sky had a fair amount of  smoke that limited visibility during the day, but just before sunset the wind kicked up and cleared the sky enough to make a few good photos.

Canon Digital Rebel, ISO: 100, aperture: f/3.5, shutter: 4 seconds, exposure bias: -2 steps, tripod: yes

For this photo I set the shutter to a 10 second delay, climbed into the tent and turned on my flashlight for a couple of seconds.
